MU Wisconsin Law Poll: Clinton +2 LV +5 RV 2 Way Clinton +3LV +4RV 4 Way

[Wiz in Wis]

All things considered, MULaw Poll has been rather consistent since June:

Among Reg voters, Clinton up 7, 7, 10, 5, 5. Wisconsin, it would seem, is not really all that elastic. Not surprising given our polarization.

[Joe Biden is your president. Deal with it.]

lol everyone stop being Beet. Hillary will win WI by 9 or 10 points.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

1.Trump has never led in a WI poll. At this point in 2012 Romney had already led in WI, including in a poll by PPP.
2.Those undecideds will break heavily for Hillary, this is one of the few "swing" states where she has hit 50% on more than one occasion. MU had her at 52-37% among LV after the DNC. Trump will never win WI.

LOL, it was Romney who got the big crowds in 2012. You just disproved your own point.

I'm not sure it'll be by that much, especially if the race remains this tight, but I'm confident WI will go for Hillary in close race.

[Gass3268]

Obama's approval is +13 here.

LOL, it was Romney who got the big crowds in 2012. You just disproved your own point.

Romney got big crowds in October right before the election but Obama was also getting huge crowds throughout.  I remember he had a 15k+ crowd in Ohio and a 10K crowd in VA all the way back in May 2012.

It was only in the last month that Romney caught up in crowd size.  Maybe Clinton will as well although I doubt it.  Having big crowds and enthusiasm is an advantage but difficult to say how much especially if it is like Trump's support.  He has 15-20M people that are very enthusiastic but most others aren't.

[MT Treasurer]

Not bad for Trump. Probably the most likely FREIWAL state to go for Trump.

[Eraserhead]

She should send Bernie here instead of Ohio.

[Dr. Arch]

Trump won't win Wisconsin. Outside of the WoW area, he's an absolute horrible fit for the state.

The GB area is heavily Catholic and adverse to anti-immigrant rhetoric.
The MKE area has heavy minority populations that will swing hard against him.
He's absolutely hated in Dane County.
The MN twin cities exurbs of the northeast are likely to reject him as well.

His best areas will be the WoW counties and, possibly, parts of the central northern areas of the state. Undecideds will break heavily against him, and Feingold is actually doing the work of energizing turnout because people want him back in the seat he shouldn't have lost.

[Gass3268]

Unless their polling shows otherwise. Clinton hasn't been in WI since April, I have to imagine that's intentional.

Agree that Bernie would be good here (same with Obama).

What's your thought on final margin?

[Wiz in Wis]

It's also worth mentioning that Wisconsin usually has among the highest turnout rates in the nation... RV polls are more valuable here, since nearly everyone who is registered, ends up voting.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Good. This means that if Hillary can regain some ground here, Feingold should be safe.

[Heisenberg]

Good. This means that if Hillary can regain some ground here, Feingold should be safe.

On the Presidential level, Wisconsin is competitive. But I'm now convinced that Johnson actually under performs Trump.

If things pan out as we're expecting, the margin will be somewhere between 2012 and 2008, about Clinton +9 with some GB area and MN exurb counties flipping.

TBH, I'd say its more accurate that Feingold exceeds Hillary.

Trump is up 8% in the Green Bay/Appelton media market and he has been for at least the last 3 polls.

Some counties, not most or all.

[henster]

Meanwhile Feingold is doing just fine ahead 47/41, Obama JA 54/41. Hmm I wonder how we'd be doing with a different candidate?

[heatcharger]

If Obama's approval ratings are consistently 10 points above water or more, she has no excuse for losing here.

[Maxwell]

One positive is that Trump's numbers still haven't budged an inch.

[NOVA Green]

This is undoubtedly Trump's best poll of the day...

Although some of our knowledgeable posters have presented cases as to why Trump is unlikely to take the football over the line in WI, considering the composition of 3rd Party and undecided voters, Obama approval ratings, etc.... Wisconsin pretty much looks like the only state that can take Trump over 270, even with wins in FL,OH,NC,IA, and NV.

Trump is clearly performing much better in the industrial Midwest than in many other regions, and even fairly solid Democratic states in the upper-midwest (WI and MI) are much closer than one might imagine.

PA looks to be a solid Clinton lock, even in her worst polling weeks, NH appears to be totally off-the-board.

I don't see VA or CO going Trump this year, despite a few polls from those states in the past week from dubious sources that indicate that the race has tightened in those two respective states.

#Battleground WI for the Trump win.

[Dr. Arch]

#Battleground WI for the Trump win.

Then he has already lost.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

#Battleground WI for the Trump win.

Then he has already lost.

I mean, it's pretty clear NV, NC and FL are going to vote to the right of WI (maybe not the last one), which would mean he needs one of WI, CO, and NH (or MI or PA, lol). It's not a must-win when you have arguably two other options, but he won't win any of them, so it's OK.

[EpicHistory]

Not bad for Trump. Probably the most likely FREIWAL state to go for Trump.

Florida + Ohio + Iowa + ME-02+ Nevada + Romney 206 + Wisconsin = 276.

Basically he needs to avoid anymore gaffes plus go all in for WI and FL. If he can lock them down and stay focused, he's got this.
